How insane is the USA? Two examples.
Jun. 29th, 2023 07:41 amKentucky woman shoots her El Paso Uber driver in the head, killing him, fearing she was being kidnapped and taken to Mexico.
She was being taken to a casino to see her boyfriend. There's a freeway interchange where there are large signs that say Juarez. And guess what? Sometimes you have to take freeway exits that are labeled one thing in order to go in another direction.
After she killed him, she took a photo and sent it to her boyfriend.
Here's hoping she never sees Kentucky again.
From the article: "...Copas did not call authorities before shooting, and she didn't summon help immediately after opening fire, the document states.
Rather, she took a photo of the injured driver and texted it to her boyfriend, detectives said in the affidavit. Then she called for help, the document states." The article also states multiple shots were fired.
You know, most anyone with anything resembling any common sense, or who had visited a foreign country, would know that you don't just waltz across the border. You have to present ID. It will be interesting to find out if the driver had a recording camera, as some do, and if there's audio, to find out if she asked him where they're going. And she had a phone! She could have called the police!
But we gotta have guns to defend ourselves! Except we're too stupid to know when we need to defend ourselves, which isn't very often, and much less often than we think.

Florida Man empties AR-15 high-capacity magazine towards his pool servicing tech.
Fortunately in this story, no one died.
This one is baffling. For some reason, the pool tech came to the house to service the pool at NINE AT NIGHT! To make matters worse, he didn't call the residents! He had been servicing this pool for six months. The home owner yelled at him to leave, when he didn't, he fired two rounds. The pool technician suffered some minor wounds from broken glass and fled. THEN the homeowner emptied the rest of the magazine into his pool deck.
The homeowner won't face any charges because of Florida's Stand Your Ground/Castle Doctrine laws. But I'll bet he's going to have to find another pool company, not to mention have to get his pool deck rebuilt.
